Powerball vs Mega Millions: one country, two matrices

U.S. Powerball jackpots are commonly filed as C(69,5)×26=292,201,338. Mega Millions operators have changed gold-ball count (24 or 25) and ticket price, so C(70,5)×24≈290,472,336 or ×25=302,575,350. Both spaces dwarf Korean 6/45 (8,145,060). powerball-vs-lotto6 is U.S. versus Korea. This landing is the two U.S. games only. Tonight’s matrix is the official site. Saju does not pick a board.

Matrices change

White-ball range, bonus range, and price are posted by year. Numbers here are widely cited arithmetic, not a lifetime plaque.

Same sticker price

Equal dollars do not mean equal jackpot odds if the space differs. Lower-tier tables differ too. EV is lottery-expected-value.
